Justice Moore, of this city, holds that the Legislature intended the fine to cover the tax and that a prosecution once is sufficient. He says that a second prosecution is for the same of-ense and would not be sustained by law. The prosecuting attorney claims that each day constitutes a separate offense as long as the dog is harbored, because the law states that the owner of th dog must hold a receipt for the tax. He says the owner can be fined every day until the tax Is paid. Verdict for Powder Company. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TEURE HAUTE. Ind.. June 3.

LETSIH6ER MURDER CASE IH HAHDSJF THE JURY Disagreement Expected, as the Panel Has Been Out Since Early Afternoon: SUMMARY OF EVIDENCE Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL, Ind., June 3. The case of the State vs. Green Letsiuger for the murder of Dennis Butcher in the south part of the county on the 14th of last Juse was given to the Jury this afternoon, and at 9:30 tonight the Jury was still out, which indicates that a disagreement will result. This is the second trial of the case. Most of the efforts of the defense to-day were devoted to showing that Letsinger bore a goodreputation for peace. It did not dispute the fact of the killing, but made a strong presentation in behalf of Its plea of self-defense. The state made a strong effort to convict. Charles Vaughn said Letsinger had been discharged from the mine at Jasonville. where Butcher was employed. An effort was making at the time to bring out all the employes in the mine, and the dismissal of Letsinger precipitated trouble, as he reported ft to his union. A demand was then made on Mine Boss Black for his reinstatement. Vaughn was then a district organizer, and was sent to Jasonville to settle the trouble.' He testified that Black said that he discharged Letsinger because Letsinger threatened he would knock Black's head off if he lost his place. Letsinger told Vaughn he did not make the threat, though he was very angry with the mine boss. Vaughn took Letsinger to the mine and told Black that he hoped to get all the men into the Mine Workers' Union, and asked if in that event he would reinstate Letsinger. Black declined, because of the threat made by Letsinger. The latter again denied making the threat, and Black called Butcher to prove the assertion. Butcher confirmed the threat, which Letsinger denied, and the men quarreled. Finally Butcher stooped over and took hold of one end of a crowbar and Letsinger fired the fatal shot. Letsinger then said to Vaughn that he would go into the woods and kill himself, but friends restrained him and prevailed upon him to surrender. Vaughn's statement was corroborated by other witnesses. $532,990 FOR FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON WASHINGTON, June 3.

E IS FOUND OP LOST SEELYVILLE BOY Interest Renewed in Fate of His Cousin, Who Disappeared from Home Three Years Ago. EFFORTS OF SEARCHERS Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., June 3. The disappearance of the little son of Dr. Byers, of Seelyvllle, has awakened new Interest in the fate of the boy's cousin. Miss Anna White, eighteen years old. who mysteriously disappeared from her home in Illinois three year3 ago. and has not since been heard from. There is no evidence that there is any connection between the occurrences, but there are many who are familiar with both cases who profess to think they are parts of a plot against this fated family. There is no diminution of interest in the fate of the boy. Parties are out searching In all directions,, and every band of itinerants, gypsy or otherwise, in this part of the country is being followed by earnest men. determined to recover the boy If he be yet living. Several hundred dollars, for reward purposes, have been raised by subscription at Stelyvllle. and the fund is yet growing. New stories of boys being seen with movers, or so-called gypsies, come to Dr. Byers, of Seelyvllle, hourly, but the week's experience running down such clews to his missing four-year-old fon has shown the searchers that they are almost valueless, because about every outfit of these nomads, and the country is full of them, includes several children. They are not gypsies, but, according to their own designation, are "movers." The outfit which was followed to Vincennes yesterday by two Seelyvllle men sent a boy into a store at Vincennes to buy tobacco. It is found that "movers" also use children for begging purposes, and this gives Dr! Byers the only satisfactory explanation for kidnaping his child. The boy was known to all Seelyvllle for the readiness with which he made friends of grown persons, and as a beggar he would be a producer for the "movers." Dr. Byers owns the residence property he occupies, and, while he makes a living for his family, has no amount of money that would tempt kidnapers bent on a ransom. The parents describe several marks of identification. In the rim of the left ear there is a well-defined nick, as If from a knife cut. The left eye is slightly crossed. The left ankle Is stiffened so that if he walks rapidly there is a limp. A clew of a child in a mover's wagon, stronger than the run of such stories, was told to-day by Mrs. Plogston, of Terre Haute. She had not heard or read of the missing Seeleyville boy when she happened to tell a neighbor of seeing a child in such a wagon Sunday 'evening, going north on Lafayette avenue, in this city, 'ine child was crying and trying to get out of the wagon, she said, and the occupants were trying to make it stop attracting attention. The time she saw the wagon was about two hours after the child was last seen In Seelyvllle. Wounded Man from Kokomo. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., June 3.
